THE NAIL TRADE.

At the beginning of the year the outlook
Of the nail trade was very encouraging.
Prices at that time were firmly held at
So per keg, with the usual discounts,
and everything pointed to an active trade
IN the spring. 1T the meeting of the
Western Nail Association in January the
card-rade was advanced to s. 60, and at
the March meeting the price was further
increased to S2.7Oper keg, with the usual
discounts. This rate was nOminally in
force until April Goth, when the asSOcia-
.tion, at its regular monthly meeting,
reduced the price to s.. p per keg, withnO

THE WOOL MARKET.
..BradstreeI's" Review of Prices and Pros-s
poets.

bTluSTttl y.
Operntions in the Eastern wool m arket-
are confined to the nearby wants of manu-
facturrrs. The condition OF the wooden
industry is unsatisfactory, orders being
fewer and smaller than 4 year ago, and
there is no disposition to stock up for the
future before the arrival of the new clip.
Prices are no better than steady. While
holders in the majority of instances do not
press their stocks upon reluctant buyers,
they would be willing to grant concessions
on large purchases, could such be effected
The Eastern markets do not respond to the
excitement which prevails in the South
west.
All accounts from California, Texas and
the Southern States east Of the Mississippi
indicate that the growers and local buyers,
including those from some of the Western
markets, are no less confident than year
ago. The prices reported to have been
paid for small lots in Texas are relatively
much higher than those now realized in
Boston, New York Philadelphia. The
views of Eastern purchasers are fairly rep
resented in the following calculation
made by the american UOi Reporter: ut
is argued that lie. would be much nearer
the probable level for the best Texas wool
than zoe. Fine 10 medium Texas and
territory woods in the SeabOard markets to-
day are worth soc. to 6Oc per pound when
ready for the cards. At these figures,
shrinking IS per cent, they would pay
l9c. to pc. in the grease in New York,
Boston or Philadelphia, and could not iu-
sure a profit to the buyer unless purchased
i'm Texas ut l5C to lie Buyers for
Western manufacturers are picking up the
| first lots readily, and active competition
is bringing excellent returns to the pro-
| ducers. The representatives of houses on
| the Atlantic coast, rs Il rule, are 50 far
| holding alOof for the reasons suggested
above.
Leading members of the st. Louis wool
/ trade predict the rapid growth Of that city
rs a market. 1t is argued there that the
operations of the Interstate Commerce act
will prove beneficial and result in Il large
increase in receipts at the expense Of the
seabOard cities.
Freight rates from Texas, east Of Fort
Worth, to st. Louis, have finally been es-
tabliShed mt 81 per 100 pounds to Chicago;
81 80 to Philadelphia, and $l.45 to New
York. A reduction in rates from California
| is announced by the Southern Pacific Com
pany, the new tariff bcjn" 81 80 per 100
or the same rs the Canadian PuciiiC's. 1t
il thought that this will lead to early ship
mentS.
At Boston the market continues quiet
and without any features otiuterest. Prices
are the same as week ago. Some move
ment of fine Australian COmbmg stock IL
reported and the general demand for mCdi-
nm woods is perhaps 4 little better than of
| late. With the manufacturing industry,
| however, is an unsatisfactory condition rs
regards both the amount Of contracts and
prices, no immediate increase i'm activity Is
anticipated Current quotations are rs !ol-
| lows IN comparison with last year:

Bob Ingersoll's Wedding.

A pension examiner in Illinois was
required to take the deposition of an
applicant for pension who seemed
very positive about the date on which
he contracted severe cold, which re-
suited in a chronic difficulty, for which
he claimed the bounty of the Govern
ment. His positiyeness as to the date
I led to the inquiry how it was he could
Il swear to an Incident which was com-
paratively trivial when it occurred.
He said:
81 know that the cold was contracted
on the 2lst of February. 1862, because
Bob lngersou was married ON the fol-
lowing day. How do ] come to re-
member that so wellp Why, Bob was
the Colonel of our regiment. was on
guard duty near Peoria on the night of
the 21st. IL was as cold as I ever felt
it, and as stood at my post Bob came
along, and after saluting him said,
Bob. If you don't give me an overcoat,
bottle of whisky, or relieve me from
this duty / will freeze to death He
replied. s.I'n do ali three With
! that he took off his overcoat, which
ding outfit, and handed, it to me,
then from his inside pocket he hoisted
out flask of prime old red-eye and
chucked that over, too. After that he
left me and returned to his quarters,
and I'll be blamed if he didn't issue
orders for the relief of the entire
guard as he said it was too cussed cold
for guard duty that night. You see
that event impressed dates ON my
memory, and I am not likely to soon
forget Col Bob's Wedding Buffalo

Another Anecdoseo Of Herr Krupp.s

The German papers continue to pub
lish numerous anecdotes of the late Herr
Krupp. The Emperor William when
visiting the Essen works, i displayed
great interest in the working Of the
steam Hammer, and Herr Krupp took
the opportunity of speaking in high
praise of the workman who had special
charge of It. 'Ackerman has a sure
eye he said, 1'..and can stop the
falling hammer at any momennt. A
hand might be placed on the anvil
without fear. and he would stop the
Hammer within a hairs breadth Of it. !"
LET US try it." said the emperor. ..but
not with a human hand-try my
WATCH" and he laid it, a splendid
specimen of work set with brilliant, ON
the anvil. Down came the immense
mass of steel. and Alderman, with his
hand on the lever, stopped it just the
sixth of an inch from the watch. When
he went TO hand IL back, the emperor
replied kindly: "No, Ackermann, keep
the watch in memory of an interesting
moment. The workman, embarrassed,
stood with Outstretched hand, not
knowing what to do. Krupp came
forward and took the watch, saying:
"Il keep, it fol. you if your are afraid
to take from his majesty" A few
minutes later they again passed the
spot, and Krupp said: ''Now you can
take the emperor's present from my
hand" and handed Ackermann the
watch wrapped up in thousand mark
note.

Table Etiquette in zanzibar.

Taking of eating reminds me of the
way the operation Is performed by the
Arabs. Five of them seat themselves
round large bowl of rice, surmounted
by skinny fowl. all being cnrried.
Two seize the wings with their fingers
and two the legs. and simultaneously
tearing these off leaving the carcass to
the fifth, afterward taking out the rice
by handfuls and dextefously convey
ing it to the mouth with peculiar
jerk. One mark of hospitality shown
to guests when at table consists in the
chiefs rolling up some rice into a ball
in the palm of his hand and aiming it
at the guests widely distended jaws.
On one occasion this piece of civility
was shown to myself. but not being a
adept IN the art OF swallowing rice
balls when SO projected the effect was
anything but what my kind entertainer
anticipated, for, independent of being
nearly choked. the grains were scat
tered, or rather sputtered, over the
table In a manner that elieited roars OF
laughter even from the very grave
Arabs. This, of course. was the last
experiment of the kind tried upon me.

A Popular Novelist In ssLove."
Love is like a flower in the desert

Love is like flower in the desert.
1t is like the aloe of Arabia that
blooms but once and dies; it blooms in
the salt emptiness; of life, and the
brightness of its beauty is set upon the
waste as star set upon the storm.
1t hath the sun above that is the
spirit, and about it blows the air of its
own divinity.
Atthe echoing of step Love blooms,
| say; l say Love blooms and bends
her beauty down to him who passeth
by.
He plucketh it, yea, he piucketh the
red cup that is full of honey and bear
eth it away-away across the desert
away till the flower be withered-away
till the desert be done.
There is only one perfect flower in
the wilderness of life. That flower is
Love.
There is only one fixed star in the
midst of our wandering. That star is
Love.
There is only one hope in our des-
pairing night. That hope is Love.
All else is false. All else is shadow
moving upon water. All else is wind
and vanity.
Who shall say what is the weight or
the measure OF Lover 1t is born of
the flesh, it dwelleth in the spirit
From each does it draw its comfort.
For beauty it is as star.
Many are its shapes but all are beau
tiful; and none know where the star
rose, or the horizon where it shall set.
H. Rider Haggdrd, in "Shs."
